Outliner:

Added drag-drop support for Groups. On drop in 3d window it creates an instance.

Todo: it adds this on 3d cursor position still. The existing drop-object-duplicate operator
is a Macro - with warning. For adding on mouse-cursor position we need a better
way (new function call, just use operator option).
